Re: Trainer manager in Python

Is there a game cover scan pack labeled by TitleID? If any project had one, it should be here. Rocky5, you are on the right track. It moves it into memory in "buffer", unmangles in place, and reads the info needed. This is why it takes so long to start up xored functionality with a big amo...

Re: Trainer manager in Python

As soon as I have a "GOOD" list of originals, I will document. I don't want credit where credit is not due. This is why the trainers were "mangled" as the source states.

Re: Trainer manager in Python

I just figured out what I couldn't figure out! XBTF support will come within the month (when depends on my amount of lazy). I know what the code does, and how it does it, where it get's it's data. I looked for an hour, and it clicked.

Re: Trainer manager in Python

Holy crap, you all are havin' a laugh. It's a *special* routine I'm looking at. Meh, I'll try to mask what I'm doing in my code. It's there for a reason, and I agree. REALLY? THE PRICE OF ADMISSION IS NOT TO LEARN ASM AND C, BUT ASM IN C? lmfao, I mighta done it too. Nothing to see here, move along ...

Re: Trainer manager in Python

The snippet was for folk other than me and you :lol: saves them having to scour the source code to find it. I was hoping that one of the Devs would read this and know what I'm asking for... I was hoping that the site that does the dev would have the answers. The file format will be documented when ...

Re: Trainer manager in Python

Here is the asm code snippet... Yeah, I have the source. I am looking for someone to help me understand it. Maybe better of asking over at the http://forum.xentax.com forums, as they are damn good at reversing formats. Thanks, will try there too. The ETM format is straight forward to reverse as it ...

Re: Trainer manager in Python

Well, I ditched the Pygame idea and just went with GTK/Tkinter because it comes with python. Most everything works, but no one can tell me how XBTF works. That little bit of "it's just an ETM" is crap. ETM's are super easy to reverse engineer/modify. I just had a feature request to allow r...

Re: Trainer manager in Python

In "utils\Trainer.cpp" on line 64: __asm // unmangle trainer Not even remotely a great comment, LOL. No comment's on what it's doing and how, or how this is derived on line 70: add al, byte ptr [esi+027h] I am just looking for what the ASM code (lines 64-90) does, and I can glean the rest.

Trainer manager in Python

I am writing an Xbox trainer manager in Python/PyGame (to make it cross-platform). I already have ".etm" support, but I do not have ".xbtf" support. Does any one here know how software reads XBTF files? I can read C/C++, but not when it drops to ASM inline. Anyone that helps me g...

Re: I2C and python?

As I think I read, you are the coder and the authority on this. I'll see what I can do on my own... but I am learning C now and can make no promises. I have a friend that can explain the code as I go (too bad I can't get him interested).

Thanks for the response.

Re: How can I upgrade xbox kernel?

Did they hardcode the Xbox to require the MSdash to be present one way or another so getting the silly dash off is just a dream? With a mod chip, you can put X4X on the C: drive instead and boot that, but not with a soft mod . In retail mode, there are things that are hardcoded into the bios like t...

I2C and python?

Is the I2C bus exposed to python in X4X? I have a project that could use it, and I have no idea how to access it outside of python (Raspbian for Raspberry Pi). I want to put a Raspberry Pi inside the Xbox case for cool stuff like a light controller, maybe a full color screen, a touch screen for medi...

I know this thread is necro, but posting to clear future confusion for future seekers: A shadow C is a file that is on your E partition that get's mounted as your C drive. Your real C drive contains mod files required to boot the system and activate the shadow, and let you fix things when something ...

Re: [Skin Concept] Hi-Tech Concept

Thanks for offer but it would take too much of an effort on my part to attempt and explain how some things work or even what needs fixing... Oh, I can bumble through code fairly well. I have never programmed in C/C++, but I found out that a feature that I thought removed was still there. It's not e...

Re: old source available?

Crap! "genre" is available as a filter in party mode! :oops: In Library mode, go to playlists and chose to edit "Party Mode Playlist". It's got quite a few options. Once you set your options, just click Party Mode like normal. You can then edit the filters anew for each party you...

Re: old source available?

Between 2.0 and 3.5, the "PartyModeManager.cpp" files don't look functionally different regarding playlist creation to me. Was it 2.0 or 2.1 that they removed genre from partymode? In music, random is available, though I suspect this is more skin based as it does exists in the code base. I...

Dam! you're right! - I was just setting up a music video jukebox and I cant find a way to randomize the music vids :( Party mode is there, but how can I randomize the order they play? Is there anyway now? My guess? Add the code from the partymode randomizer. I have looked through the code, it's the...

You want tags, not branches... Wow, ok. I have no idea how to use versioning software, so thanks for the mini-lesson! I just killed the "checkout" and started one of XBMC_2_0_0/XBMC. It should be interesting to look through the code. EDIT: I use Debian as my only OS (no dual boot), but I ...

Re: old source available?

I want the "genre" function back for party mode. I can't believe they removed it! They must have had small/limited collections... I, however, have over 1100 CD's spanning almost all genre's. When I am throwing a party and all my metal-head friends are over, we don't want to hear Pachelbel ...
